Proposal for Establishment of a IUCR Co-Center for Engineering Tribology

该项目为佐治亚理工学院的规划会议提供资金，以确定它是否能产生足够的工业支持，成为西北大学工程摩擦学工业/大学合作研究中心的合作大学。初步研究表明，佐治亚理工学院的研究和产业支持将协同增效，增强中心的研究基础和支持。美国国家科学基金会表面工程和摩擦学项目主任Jorn Larsen-Basse博士建议资助该项目。项目主任建议佐治亚理工学院为这次规划会议提供一年1万美元的奖励。

This project provides funds for a planning meeting for Georgia Institute of Technology to determine if it can generate sufficient industrial support to become a collaborative university in Northwestern University's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Engineering Tribology. Preliminary studies indicate that Georgia Institute of Technology's research and industrial support would be synergistic and enhance the Center's research base and support. Dr. Jorn Larsen-Basse, Program Director of the Surface Engineering and Tribology Program at NSF recommends the project be funded. The Program Director recommends Georgia Institute of Technology be awarded $10,000 for one year for this planning meeting.
